I hope you enjoy these cranberry oatmeal cookies as much as we do. I made a few changes to a recipe on the back of a canister of oats — now this is the only recipe I use!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1.5 cups light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons coarse kosher salt , or to taste
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups chopped toasted pecans
Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2
Place unsalted butter and light brown sugar into the work bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-slow speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract, followed by eggs, one at a time. Reduce mixer speed to lowest speed and leave running.

Whisk rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; gradually add oat mixture into the slowly running mixer, a 1/3 at a time. Mix in dried cranberries and nuts until just incorporated. Using a large cookie scoop, place dough on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake one batch at a time in the preheated oven just until the edges are brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

German Twists
These German twists are rich and tender sour cream and yeast cookies. They are delicious and so lovely with their many delicate layers and twists. The recipe is time-honored and historic, and there are many variations. This updated version uses all butter and a food processor for excellent flavor and easy mixing. The rich yeast dough does not contain sugar, but the sweetness and layering result from well-sugaring the dough and work surface while rolling and folding it several times before cutting and shaping the cookies.
